Maintainers of the PHP Extension and Application Repository (PEAR) have disclosed a breach that resulted in the compromise of the go-pear.phar executable used to install the PEAR installer package manager v1.10.9. The PEAR installer is optionally used by Magento 1 installations. It is not used in Magento 2 where it is replaced by Composer.

Magento is making Google reCAPTCHA and Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) functionality available for Magento Open Source, Commerce, and Commerce (Cloud) v2.1 and v2.2. These features provide enhanced access security.
